Failing initialization during installation

[Lukas Eder]

I made another installation of Informix. This time I named the default
sbspace 'def_sbspace'. The initialization failed again. The JDBC SQL
exception returns now "Invalid default sbspace name (def_sbspace)." as
expected. So, it is not really the name that bothers Informix...

In case anyone is still looking for this issue, I found a recent blog post explaining what to do in this case:

Essentially, I needed to create an sbspace.dbs file and register it with onspaces:

C:\> onspaces -c -S sbspace2 -p c:\informix_data\data.dbs -o 100 -s 20000 -Df "LOGGING=ON"

Hope this helps,
Lukas

Hello Johannes,

When it is created you have to put it in onconfig too.

cd %INFORMIXDIR%\etc

write %ONCONFIG%

search for SBSPACE and fill in the space created above eq sbspace2.

stop and start the database....



Hope this helps
